Dave Roper, the first American ever to win an Isle of Man TT, will be riding a restored 580cc Indian TT model v-twin in the 2011 TT. Roper has a lifetime of achievement in vintage racing, including more than 20 AHRMA national championships as well as his win of the 1984 Senior Historic TT on a G50 Matchless. Support the first motorcycle to ever win the Senior TT on the Mountain Course, the only American marque to win at the event and the only American racer to ever win the Senior Historic TT!

31 May, 2011 I arrived in the IOM today and checked out the 1911 Indian I will ride in the Parade. It's beautiful, but need some fettling yet. I met up with Lennon Rodgers and his MIT crew who have built an electric race bike for the TTXGP. They're after a special cash prize put up by the IOM government to the highest finishing University built electric bike.
